Fearful Experience of Diver.

Gardiner Floyd, a well.known diver Of
Portland Me-, had an awful experience
many feet under wafer at Mattawamkeag
a few days ago. He was at work on a
foundation for a coiler-dam at the site
of a pier for n new bridge for the Cana
dian Pacific Railroad. He had put a
cham around a big rock and given the
signal to hoist 1t, when u large piece of
the rock broke off. 1t fell upon the
diver, knocked him down, and pinned
one leg and foot 70 the bottom. His
crowbar was just beyond his reach, and
he feared every moment that his air
supply would give out. The bottom was
OF mud and gravel aud rather soft.
MIR. Floyd set to work to dig himself
free with his hands. AS fast as he un-
dermlned the rock he propped it with
small stones. He dug away for dear life
Tor Just half an hour before he succeeded
in getting his leg free, His air hose was
resting on two points of a ledge, but by
careful handling he got it Strengthened
out and gave the signal to hoist. He was
completely exhausted when he reached
the surface. His foot and leg were badly
bruised, but no bones were broken

til they have seen the same persons in Il
diifercnt-i. G., two-!cggcd-drcss. The
habit of wearing Al dress which causes
the duality Of the form to be concealed
Is the true cause of all the errors and
atrnngo contortions which seem in
supnrablc from women's dress. 1t com
pletely alters the character of the figure
and causes an ordinary waist to look
large and clumsy. Dress a man in a
woman's skirt and his waist immediately
appears large out of all proportion to it's
height, and this result is tho true cause
of the compression Of the waist among
most European nations. Till it is re-
moved, it is vain to argue against tight
lacing. The majority of women also
seem unaware how uubecoming Il thing
Is the tight bodice, which il the stereo-
typed form on which their dress bodices
arc made. They unconsciously try, to
improve upon it by making imitation

\ Change Taking Place In the Use of
Tobacco.
Uronl the ". Y. Commercial Advcrtiscr)
Every tobacconist recognizes the great
change th.at is taking place in what NAV
be called In a rather new sense the pub
lie t, ste. Any average t~obacconist,
whose toad not chiefly among sailors
and truckmcL, will tell you he does not
sell one-AalI rs much chewing tobacco us
he did ten years ago. Very likely he
will be unable to guess why it is, but lo
can't deny the fact. / asked one of them
about it the othor day. He said:
"Iho change IL due to a variety Of
causes. 1t IL n great deal more apparent
hero in the East than III the West and
South, but it is going on ali over the
country. One thing is undoubtedly the
strength of public opinion that it is an
uncleanly habit. 1t is hard for a man
who chews to keep evidences Of it from
his clothes. That fact makes it i~nevita-
bic that the habit should go down be-
fore the increasing attention to dress.
that is n feature of modern life. Then a
great many refined and woll-intontioncd
persons have waged war against it for
years. 1t was inevitable that somo
effect should follow their crusade.
"But the principal causes arc right
here: There is a great deal more dyspep-
STA and stomach trouble in the country
now than there used to be, and no per
son can chew tobacco who has a weak
stomach. James Parton says in his
famous pamphlet against rum and
tobacco that the stomach will hold out
against the weed longer than the lungs.
James does not smoke or chew, and
therefore be doesn't know. Common
experience shows that he Is wrong, and
doctors support the verdict of common
experience. The action Of the tobacco
juice, which trickles down the chcwcr's
throat, is to paralyze tho stomach. 1t
will do that long before smoke will have
any porceptible effect upon an ordinary
pair OF lungs.
"Then the cigarette has done a great
deal TO put an end to the habit of chew
ing tobacco. The growth of the cigar
cite practice in this country is, as they
say of Western towns, phenomenal
The consumption OF cigarettes has
doubled many times over in the last
fifteen years. About seven out of every
ten boys who are growing up now smoke
cigarettes. And after u boy has smoked
cigarettes u few years he not only has no
taste for tobacco in any other form, but
no has no constitution left to stand
chewing tobacco. 1t is curious how
boys will take cigarettes. / believe it is
very largely because of the fuss that is
made about them. 1t has got to be the
common opinion that cigarette smoking
is the most injurious practice known.
That is just why boys adopt it. Itmakes
them an object Of awful interest to other
boys and to girls. 1t is soothing to a
boys foolish pride TO know to that peo-
pie have marked him out as one who is
rushing with ~frightful temerity to early
destruction. Whether that is the cause
OF it or not, it is perfectly certain that
more and more cigarettes arc being sold
every year and less and less chewing
tobacco.
